an option for you...What would be your back-up hobby?
For me.....mowing the lawn

racing. raced for years - loved it.
still would be racing but - x-wife and child support = no $$$

I'd probably spend ALL my free time in front of th monitor with computer games and even justify a DSL line for online gaming.

I onced had a second hobby, Dragracing. But in 2000 i became diabled and no longer can drive. I still own the car today, a 1981 camaro w/ 402 bb. w/ all the goodies. The car is called the "Steel Cowboy". Now i do have five children who pretty much followed me to the tracks and i'd hoped that someday one would get behind the wheel. Not so. Back to the question of a second hobby, well i'd love to get back racing again with someone behind the wheel. Boy i still can smell the nitro and burning rubber.

I would be on the river or lake, and up in the mountians. Outside of modeling I have always spent a lot of my time in the outdoors! I was raised that way and I still love it.

Cheers,

Garry

exactly the same with garry

Make more children :-) :-) :-)

Read more books. Practice more Taekwondo

I would do that too, and BMX riding, maybe even some computer games.

Go out hiking with my dog...and dreaming about MODELLING
It's difficult for me to picture a life without modelling, for me it's a way to loose work-stress, and an escape from the outside world!

I'm living in my own 1:35 world,

I'd like to get an old tank, something not seen too often, and something not too big, and restore it!

INVENT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Refuse to believe thats possible. Eventhough I live for today ... I dont look negatively at the future.
I do have other hobbies that interest me as well as modelling .. football, music, computers, computer games, etc!

I would race my car more in the summer and practice on my guitar more every day.

Hi, For me it would be hard to say because all my life I have moved from one hobby to another. I call this a 'progression,' or the learning experiences of life for me personally.

Used to be involved in the 'muscle car craze' back in the late '60s and ealry '70s. When I found myself sort of 'outgrowing' this, I went into guns, loading ammunition, etc. After a few years that became boring and then went into the hobby of 'buckshinning' or re-creating the clothes and other items used on the American frontier during the colonial era. Then, as I grew older, I gravitated from that back into the modeling experience that I used to do as a kid.

After this, if there is another change in my life, I couldn't say at the moment what it would be. I've always enjoyed reading and esp. the reading of history on the Am. Civil War, W.W.II, and Native Americn history, their religion, and lifeways all thoughout my life, which I would have to say is the only hobby that has more or less endured through time, and I look on modeling as just a 3-dimension extension of the W.W. II period of learning.

So as far as anything new on the horizon, that may come along to replace this hobby, I guess only time will tell.

Take care and good luck to you all, Sgirty

It is an idea I don't want to think about but I would probebly spend more time on the shooting range. need to get the stress out some way

Hi guys

A world without modelling, hmm what a sad and hurtful thought. I guess I would spend more time reading, plus I've been tossing the idea around about doing some writing. I think I would spend more time with my kids. They seem to be growing at an alarming rate these days.

I'd probably fall back onto one of my other current or dormant hobbies: paintball, reading, playing computer/video games, and playing guitar.

I'd go Fishing a lot more lol.
Pete :-)

Wow that thought scares the stuffing out of me !
i love modelling so much !
but if it came to pass and i still had all my faculties please god, then i would get back heavily into kendo

I'd probably spend more (i.e. more than 0 :-) ) time at the gym, and more time fencing...

For me it'd be more hillwalking, computer games and fixing up some more Lambretta's oh yeah and being a misrable sod as well
